Either learn what the standard speed limits are in KPH (Like I do on my 205) or get another converter. They are normally sub-£10 on ebay.

what about reading off the max KPH on your clock, convert it MPH and then get a clock insert that reads up to the MPH you just converted?

My st205 just has a cover over OEM clocks and my car doesn't hit limiter until near 130 with needle off the end of the scale. Must be very accurate limiter!!
